Post - Games for Linux (Ubuntu)?


I've been using Ubuntu Linux on my laptop more and more now for programming, surfing, office work etc., but I haven't tested many games yet...

There's a few nice looking ones on this page that I'll test soon:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games
http://www.ubuntugames.org/en/UbuntuGames

One of the first games I'll test on that list is Star Control II: The UR-Quan Masters.
I really love that game!
Anyone tried Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters??

But do any of you know any good commercial games that are available with native Linux support??

Im not sure there would be, since Linux is open source(mostly) not many developers charge for their games.Alternatively,you could buy Cedega or compile it yourself with svn and play native windows games, it works quite well.

I'm not looking for free games, but commercial (paid) games with native Linux support where I don't need Wine or other emulators or tweaks..
